For the third year in a row, Fidelity International has achieved top ratings across every assessed category in Principles for Responsible Investment’s (PRI) annual assessment.

PRI rated Fidelity International A+ across seven investment categories, including Fidelity’s equity and fixed income offerings, as well as its strategy and governance activities.

Paras Anand, Chief Investment Officer, Asia Pacific, at Fidelity International says: “It is a great honour to be recognised as a best-in-class sustainable investor from the most recognised organisation in this space. It reflects Fidelity’s continued commitment to advancing sustainable investing and promoting active ownership.”

Jenn-Hui Tan, Global Head of Stewardship and Sustainable Investing, adds: ”At Fidelity International, we have developed an approach to sustainable investing that is built on integrated ESG analysis, engagement and collaboration. Each of these elements is designed to enhance returns from our clients’ investments and encourage our investee companies to meet their ESG goals. I am proud to see our achievements in this space being recognised by the UNPRI.”

Since 2012, Fidelity International has been a signatory to the Principles for Responsible Investment (PRI), a leading organisation supported by the United Nations that promotes the integration of Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) issues into investment decision making and ownership practices. As a signatory, the firm is required to submit an annual report detailing how it is incorporating ESG into its investment analysis across asset classes.
